s'UsPENDER-END.

EPECIFCATIN forming part of Letters Patent N o. 738,740, dated September 8, 1903.

I Original application led February 8, 1902, Serial No. 93,160. Divided and this application filed October 31, 1902. Serial No. 129,534. (No model.)

' To` a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

. proved end referred to.

Be it known that I, ALFRED M. ZIEGLER, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolkand State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Suspender-Ends, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like characters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention relates to a novel suspenderend or button-piece composed of a woven web having the sides at its end inturned and crossfolded and attached to the body of the web to act as a bar or stay for the outer end of Ia woven buttonhole. s

Figure 1 represents a sufficient portion of the end of a suspender to illustrate my impiece, and Fig. 2 is a detail to be The shoulder-strap A is and may be of any usual material. This strap is threaded through 4the slot of a plate a', having a ball or post over which is fitted 'a socket b, connected with a cast-off b', as in application vSerial No. 93,160, tiled February 8, 1902. Be-

hindthe cast-off is a metallic plate c', having two slots c c, through which are threaded, re-

` resented as incomplete, but viewing the free` end of the web f at the right-hand side of spectively, two woven webs f and f. Fig. 2 shows the end at the rear side of the web at the left nturned preparatory to being laid fiat on itself and stitched as represented at the rightin Fig. 1. Onefree end of each of said webs .is stitched `to the other web at a distance from its free end by lines of stitchesg.`

Each web f f has a free end 7, as shown at the leftFig. 1, where the button-piece is rep- Fig. 1,Where the end piece is shown completed. It will be noticed that the end 7, as shown by dotted lines, is stitched across the web by a line of stitches 7i., leaving said end intersecting the outer end of the buttonhole, so that the edge 9 9 of the web becomes a stay for the lower end of the buttonhole, which is subjected to the greatest strain in wearing.

ATo form the complete suspender-end shown unfinished end at the left-hand side, Fig. 1,

along the diagonal lines 5 6 5 6 and along lines 3 3 and 4 4. I infold the web at the points 4 4, (see Fig. 2,) the creases hereinbefore mentioned facilitating the described folding and more distinctly defining the folding lines. (See Fig, 2.) As thus folded, the point 8 is formed, and at the end the extremity or flap from 6 6 to 9 9 will hang downward. This flap may then be placed or folded against the web s0 that edge 9 9 will cross the lower end 2 of buttonhole e, forming a stay or bar, and the finished end in Fig. 1 is produced. It is 'to be noted that Fig. 2 shows the .folding of the par-ts, which when performed results in the finished or right-hand side of Fig. 1.

I have shown the button or end pieces as forming part of a suspender; but it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the use of the end pieces described only with suspenders, but they may be'used with any wearing-apparel.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. An end or button piece comprising a web having a buttonhole near one end, the end of the web below the buttonhole being folded over at the sides of the web and the edge of the web constituting a stay for the buttonhole.

2. An end or button piece comprising a web having a buttonhole near one end, the end'of the web below the buttonhole being infolded, and the extremity of the Wehl being laid over on one side of the web and stitched thereto with the edge of the web crossing the lower end of the buttonhole.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.`
